Tentative Schedule:

Note: For the Mondays that are holidays during the Spring Term, students will be going on field trips another day of the week after studio. Those dates will be announced once the trips are confirmed.

4/13/15
Week One:
How do we measure space?

4/27/15
Week Two:
How do we define space?
How do we document space?

5/4/15
Week Three:
How do we feel/sense space?

5/11/15
Week Four:
When is space personal?

5/18/15
Week Five:
When is space public?

6/1/15
Week Six:
How is space constructed?
When is a space an event?

In this course we will engage the concept of space itself. Each week will begin with a guiding question: How do we define space? How do we construct space? When is space personal? We will critically engage each question through weekly readings, discussions, artist presentations, and field trips.

By alternately taking up the perspectives of contemporary theorists, geographers, architects, and artists we will investigate radical cartography, explore the poetic nature of corners, and listen to how the surface of the moon might sound to a piano!

By the end of this course each student will posses a robust toolbox of conceptual and aesthetic techniques with which to analyze, interpret, and design space.
